If you are talking about the air to air intercooler, it's the same as the ebay one and I used it and it worked great up to 650hp

My setup was a turbo so I never ran it without an intercooler, as long as you are running at least a 70mm turbo you should be fine

This is going on a 97 cobra with a vortech v2 supercharger, only mods are xpipe and mufflers.

If it's a stock cobra motor and you don't plan on spinning that V2 a lot, I wouldn't put an intercooler on it

Its only pushing 10lbs, it will probably stay that way till engine blows, then going built with more boost

I also have the cxr kit and no complaints yet. I was able to install it and keep the bumper support and foam piece. It fits behind the metal bumper support.
You could install a cxr kit, drop a pulley size and still be at or around 10psi but with more power and lower iat's. Its such a well priced kit that there's really no reason not to. And I assume that if you want to make big power down the road you could always swap out the intercooler it self with a treadstone unit while using the piping from the cxr kit
